Deskercise: Staying Jazzed and Focused at School
NPR
Students at Mitchell Elementary School in Charleston, S.C., don't just write their multiplication tables. They jump them. Innovations like this are part of the burgeoning movement to promote more action-based learning. Some studies suggest that incorporating physical movement into the classroom improves student focus and attention. "Jumping rope is very rhythmic," says Dave Spurlock. And the movement seems to help kids with the rote task of memorization.
